One of my hopes when I do a magic show for kids is that the children's appreciation of magic will lead to a greater interest in science and reading.

If your child expresses an interest in learning how to do magic, I encourage you to nurture that interest. You will find that learning the art of magic will have a wonderful, positive effect on your child. He or she will have more confidence, and through performing their tricks for others can help many of them overcome shyness. Just having the knowledge and ability to do something that others are not able to do, can be a great confidence booster! The first time that they truly fool you will be a moment they will never forget.

Your child will also become more curious about how things in the natural world work. Suddenly, science is no longer boring - it is active and alive. After showing students a simple magic trick using mathematics, I have watched them trying out different ways to work the trick. They will try to prove that it doesn't always work, and then they try to see if little changes to the formula can create a new trick. It always amazes teachers to see their students doing math and enjoying it. You will be surprised at the new interests your child develops as they advance in magic.

You can buy your child some effects and tricks at the magic shop or online, but I also like to recommend library books. In both the children's and adult sections, you will find a wealth of knowledge on the art of magic and illusion. Located there are books with tricks that your child can make for themselves, as well as books with not only the history of magic, but also how magic changed history. For example, did you know a famous French magician used his stage magic once to end a war? You will also find books that teach how to use chemistry, physics, mathematics and more to produce magical results. These are books that will really encourage your child to read.

It is my sincere hope that if your child ever expresses an interest in magic, that you will do your child (and yourself) a favor and encourage their interest. Most children will leave the hobby behind at some point, but it may be the springboard that leads to greater success in whatever field they may enter.
